Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And none speaks false, when there in none to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26109]]></link><description><![CDATA[And none speaks false, when there in none to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Bunyan understood the Gospel when he wrote that tract, "The Jerusalem Sinner Saved."

He knew that every sinner is a Jerusalem sinner who has crucified the Lord of Glory; and to whom, notwithstanding all this, the grace of God is exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Therefore the Apostle Paul himself is a pattern... of the grace of God abounding to the Christ-crucifiers. A new covenant is made with those who transgressed the first covenant. It is the brethren of Joseph, who have sold him into Egypt, who are made the partakers of Joseph's power and of Joseph's riches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I xeroxed my watch.

For it is to this end that he brings his own body into subjection, that he may be able to serve others more sincerely and more freely... Thus it is impossible that he should take his ease in this life, and not work for the good of his neighbors, since he must needs speak, act, and converse among men, just as Christ... had His conversation among men... It is the part of a Christian to take care of his own body for the very purpose that by its soundness and wellbeing he may be enabled to labor... for the aid of those who are in want, that thus the stronger member may serve the weaker member, and we may be children of God, and busy for one another, bearing one another's burdens, and so fulfilling the law of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That number showed the market the U.S. may not be able to lower interest rates as soon as people expected ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35004]]></link><description><![CDATA[That number showed the market the U.S. may not be able to lower interest rates as soon as people expected ... and that will lengthen the time before their recovery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten thousand casks, Forever dribbling out their base contents,  Touch'd by the Midas finger of the state,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ten thousand casks, Forever dribbling out their base contents,  Touch'd by the Midas finger of the state,   Bleed gold for ministers to sport away.    Drink, and be mad then; 'tis your country bids!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You just don't luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's clear that we've seen some pass-through of raw materials costs to producer prices, but retail inflation is still restrained. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36354]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's clear that we've seen some pass-through of raw materials costs to producer prices, but retail inflation is still restrained.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many men kill themselves for love, but many more women die of it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many men kill themselves for love, but many more women die of it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A load would sink a navy. -King Henry VIII.
